Hit-and-Run Accidents in Florida

Hit-and-run crashes are alarmingly frequent in Florida, with over 100,000 incidents reported annually. Such accidents often leave victims in distress, both physically and emotionally, as they deal with injuries and the uncertainty of pursuing justice.

Key aspects of hit-and-run accidents to consider include:

  • Importance of Witness Statements: Witnesses play a crucial role in identifying fleeing drivers. Their accounts often provide law enforcement with vital details about the vehicle or driver involved.
  • Surveillance and Traffic Cameras: In urban areas, video footage from nearby businesses or traffic cameras can be instrumental in solving these cases.
  • Uninsured Motorist Coverage: Victims of hit-and-runs often rely on this type of insurance to cover medical expenses and other damages when the perpetrator is not caught.
  • Emotional Toll on Victims: Being abandoned at the scene can lead to significant emotional stress, adding to the challenges of physical recovery.
